• PREMIUM STAY

  5/5

  I've stayed in a lot of places around the world, and this one truly stands out as one of the best. The view on the 2nd floor on the balcony of the bay is absolutely stunning, that’s were we had coffee every morning. PREMIUM PLACE...AMAZING VIEW OF THE BAY... ALL AC SPLITS & CELLING FANS WORKED PERFECTLY... VERY COMFORTABLE BEDS AND COMFORTERS...VERY WELL STOCKED WITH UTENSILS AND POTS, PANS FOR COOKING...HIGH QUALITY APPLIANCES.... FANTASTIC LOCATION, SAFE AREA.

  The neighborhood was quiet, safe, and a really peaceful place to come back to after a day out exploring. It was easy to get around pretty much everything we wanted to see was 15–20 minutes away.

  Everything felt clean and thoughtfully set up. It felt like a real home, not just a rental.

  Just a heads up: the entrance is around the back, through an alley behind the main road. It’s not hard to find once you know, but it wasn’t obvious at first. The designated parking spot is convenient, but getting in and out can be tricky, especially if the neighbor across the alley has their car parked. We had to do a bit of maneuvering a couple of times, we ended up doing a 20 point turn a couple times but we also found street parking and honestly street parking was easier and we always found a spot nearby.

  Flexible, let us drop out luggage early and also check out late.

  All in all, we loved our stay and would absolutely come back. It really was a special place.

  Well kept, supplied, and decorated OB DADU property clearly loved and cared for by the owners (who are so lovely!). My husband and I stayed here for 9 days with our 2 little dogs. Quiet location at the top of the hill overlooking the downtown OB area and beach with short distance access to either downtown OB & Point Loma (scooter or drive) or the back side of Voltaire (walk or scooter) for some good eats & chill vibes. Overall though, a super central location to access all that beautiful San Diego has to offer! The property inside (super comfy beds) and out had everything you need and more, including a juicer! The property entrance is located on a dead end alley which makes it quiet, safe and an easy way for dog’s to take quick potty walks. The parallel parking spot in the alley was so handy and accommodated our Subaru Crosstrek perfectly. Easy check in/out process and communicative hosts. We highly recommend this property!

• A Wonderful Stay at The Guesthouse

  5/5

  I recently stayed at the Guesthouse in San Diego and couldn’t have been happier with my experience. The property itself is beautiful, exceptionally clean, and very comfortable, with every amenity I could have needed for a relaxing stay. The view was lovely, and the close proximity to the beach was such a wonderful bonus — it made my trip even more enjoyable.The host was gracious, thoughtful, and made sure I had clear instructions for entering the property, which I really appreciated. When my flight was unexpectedly delayed by several hours, they kindly allowed me to stay past the checkout time — a generous gesture that made a stressful travel day so much easier.I felt completely safe and at home throughout my stay, and I truly appreciate the care and attention the host puts into this guesthouse. I highly recommend this property to anyone visiting San Diego and look forward to staying here again.

  We had a wonderful stay! The place was spotless and thoughtfully stocked with everything we could’ve needed—even little extras like sunblock and bathroom air freshener. The home was very comfortable, and we especially appreciated the cozy beds and having TVs in both bedrooms.

  The balcony and outdoor seating areas were great for relaxing, and the views from the upstairs bedrooms gave us a nice look at the neighborhood and even the beach. The location was perfect—quiet, peaceful, and close to the beach and eating establishments of OB. We also had no trouble finding parking for our second car, which was a huge plus.

  The host was fantastic, responding quickly to all of our questions and making sure we had everything we needed. We’d absolutely stay here again!

• Overall — positive experience

  4/5

  The guesthouse was great for us and our two small dogs. The backyard is fully fenced, so we didn’t have to worry about them being out there on their own for a few moments.

  The host was warm, approachable, and very helpful.

  While the listing mentioned a carport for parking, we ended up parking in the alley. It wasn’t an issue— just have to back up going in or out of the alley if you’re unable to turn around.

  The listing also mentioned the potential noise from planes due to the proximity to the airport. We didn’t see much detail on it, but if you're staying here, be prepared to hear planes flying overhead. It wasn't a huge problem for us since we were out all day, and when we were home in the evenings, closing the windows helped a lot. If you're planning to relax on the balcony, earplugs or music through earbuds/earphones might be a good idea.

  We didn’t use the home much outside of sleeping and showering, but the kitchen was fully stocked, and there was both a Keurig and a regular coffee pot. The bathroom also had extra amenities, which was a nice touch. The closets were spacious, they were hangers in both closets. Each room had extra blankets and pillows, etc.

  The overall decor had a nice beach vibe and the home was clean.

  The only reasons I didn’t give this a five-star review were the king-sized bed, which was uncomfortable for my husband, and the mini-split AC, which blew on us all evening. You can adjust it to “swing” so it doesn’t blow consistently on you, but it still wasn’t ideal.

  Overall, though, it was a lovely guesthouse, and we had a good stay.
